Reaction
The new Schrock-Hoveyda, chiral molybdenum catalyst can effect various modes of enantioselective olefin metathesis with excellent selectivity.
Uses
(
S)-5,5′,6,6′-Tetramethyl-3,3′-di-
tert-butyl-1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′-diol, a biphenyl chiral ligand is used to prepare mono- and bidentate phosphites applicable as catalysts in the hydroformylation of allyl cyanide, heterocyclic olefins, and asymmetric hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate.
